Prognostic significance of osteopontin in patients with non-small cell lung cancer: results from a meta-analysis.
Article in International journal of clinical and experimental medicine, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundsNon-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the most common malignancies with a high mortality level. Recently, a variety of studies explored the role of osteopontin (OPN) expression in the prognosis of NSCLC, but the results were controversial.
methodsWe performed a meta-analysis of eligible studies to evaluate the prognostic significance of OPN expression in NSCLC patients. In order to assess the association between OPN and OS and DFS/PFS, hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated.
resultsA total of ten studies comprising 1420 patients were included in the meta-analysis. The summary results indicated that high OPN expression was a poor predictor for OS (HR = 2.19, 95% CI: 1.6-2.98), and DFS/PFS (HR = 2, 95% CI: 1.66-2.41). Subgroup analysis revealed that high OPN expression was a negative prognostic marker for OS and DFS/PFS regardless of ethnicity background, treatment and OPN detection method.
conclusionOur results showed that increased OPN expression significantly correlated with poor OS and DPS/PFS in NSCLC patients.
